## About

```text
At CYBLACK, I led the Cloud Security sprint as Team Lead, designing Azure security architecture with Firewall, UDRs, and NSGs, and applying KQL for log-based detection. I also mapped security-policy requirements to technical cloud implementation using ISO/IEC 27002:2022 controls.

In my Azure security projects, I built repeatable environments for identity governance, least-privilege access, monitoring, and response. My Gatekeeper lab combined Conditional Access, PIM, Sentinel detections, and a Logic Apps response workflow; I’m open to remote Cloud Security and IAM Engineering roles.
